I was so put off by the reviews that I thought I'm not going to play it.
A game like Mass effect need a Hollywood ending. Not a Cormac McCarthy one.
This is not art nouveau. This is universe saving action RPG. It's like watching Rambo 1,2 and then at 3 Rambo dies. Action fans don't like that.

This is why I don't like action fans. Rambo should have died. A part of me hopes Bioware makes the new ending worse than the original, where AI is replaced with Tim Curry dressed up as a butler who explains that he killed Garfield.

Actually from what I understand, the original movie (and in the story that First Blood was based upon) was supposed to end with Rambo blowing his brains out. It didn't test well with audiences. Stupid Audiences. But then again the latest Rambo movie was pretty awesome.
